ABSTRACT
Surgical bile duct injury (SBDI) is one of the most serious complications of hepato biliary surgery and liver transplantation. Regardless of the improvements in surgical techniques in recent years, SBDI remains a critical problem and a major cause of morbidity. Proper diagnosis and treatment of SBDI are paramount in preventing the life-threatening complications of cholangitis, intra-abdominal infection, biliary chirrosis and end-stage liver disease, possibly resulting in death.
